Fishing Reports by Regional Fishery Biologists
Previous Fishing Reports
May 8, 2009
Reminder: Use your Open Water Fishing law book
As you prepare your equipment for open water fishing season, don't forget to locate the Open Water Fishing Regulations booklet that you used last year. This law book is "good" through March 31, 2010. If you've misplaced it, you can pick up another one at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in Augusta or at most licensing agents.
It would be a good idea to review the law book before you head out to your favorite water. General Law regulations are found on Page 8, but don't forget many waters have regulations that depart from the general law. Check to see if the body of water you will be fishing is listed under the appropriate county heading. If it is listed, it will be followed by the special regulations that apply to that water. Remember, there were numerous changes specific to individual waters recently, so check the body of water you will be fishing.
A list of a few of the more significant general law rule changes can be found on Page 5 of the Open Water Fishing Regulations booklet. To summarize these changes:
- The terms "trout" and "brook trout" now include Arctic charr (see Page 11).
- The fall fishing season on the lakes and ponds in southern Maine now extends from October 1 through December 31 (see page 8).
- Statewide the minimum length limit on bass is now 10 inches (see Page 8 for the details).
- The old S-23 & S-24 fall fishing seasons have been combined into a new S-24 regulation. Waters having a S-24 designation are open from Oct. 1 - Dec. 31, artificial lures only, all trout, landlocked salmon and togue must be released alive at once.

Sebago Lake boat access hours
The Department of Conservation recently has established new boat access provisions to accommodate early season salmon and togue anglers. The park gate now is open at 4 a.m. each day until May 22. After May 22, the gate will open at 9 a.m. for the remainder of the season.

Open Water Fishing Preview
It has been another long winter, and I am sure many of our fellow anglers have been anxiously waiting for another open water season. It is yet another chance to get outdoors and maybe to catch that elusive lunker you've been after for years, but more importantly it is an opportunity for many other things.
It's an opportunity to create a wealth of fond memories that will last a lifetime; an opportunity to spend some quality time with your dad, your kids, or a dear friend; or perhaps it's simply a time to strike out alone to clear your head and get some perspective. Whatever the opportunities are for you personally, and no matter what you actually end up catching for fish, it is likely to keep you yearning for the next open season when winter comes around again. So, do yourself a favor…get out there, wet a line, and enjoy your time on the waters of Maine!
As many of you may recall, late snow melt and heavy rains led to delayed stream stockings last season, and the high water conditions made early season fishing difficult. In addition, most lakes and ponds were locked up tight on April 1 resulting in few early season fishing opportunities.
Some good early season spots that are typically quite popular include the shorelines of Auburn Lake in Auburn, the Songo Locks in Naples, Jordan River (also known as Panther Run) in Raymond, Long Lake causeway in Naples, Thompson Lake causeway at the heath, and just about anywhere else you can find some fishable water.
Our hatchery staff has been right out straight and the trucks are rolling almost nonstop. This spring southern Maine hatcheries will be stocking Region A waters with approximately 53,000 brookies, 33,400 browns, 9,800 salmon, 7,700 bows, 2,300 lake trout, and 1,500 splake. That's a lot of fish to distribute over a large area in what typically amounts to about a six-week period.
Generally, stocking programs are very similar from year to year, although some new stockings planned this year include the stocking of rainbows at Little Ossipee Lake in Waterboro (Spring), Stanley Pond in Hiram (Spring), and Little Sebago Lake (Fall).
IF&W's web site (www.mefishwildlife.com) has a listing of last year's stocking. Last year we launched a current, continually updated stocking list for waters stocked under put-and-take programs. "Real time" stocking information will continue to be provided this year and is the best source of up to date stocking information.
Lastly, you can't have an open water fishing report in Maine without touching upon Spring salmon fishing. We expect salmon catches to remain good at the Big Three (Sebago, Thompson and Auburn), but IF&W data from last fall suggest anglers may notice some decrease in size quality, especially at Thompson and Auburn. We still expect Sebago to yield some lunker salmon and togue this season. Some other smaller and less popular Region A salmon waters worth trying out this year include: Moose Pond in Bridgton, Kezar Lake in Lovell, Colcord Pond in Porter, and South Pond in Greenwood.

Catchable brook trout waters in Maine
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife fisheries staff have recently completed a second winter of surveying select lakes and ponds in the central and southern Maine region that are stocked with fall-yearling brook trout. These surveys have shown that ice anglers catch between 5-80 percent of the fall stocked brook trout.
This means a number of stocked trout are around for open water anglers as soon as the ice goes off these waters. Anglers can improve their chances of finding these hold-over trout by using boats, canoes or kayaks in order to fish areas away from access areas.
Don't forget: these large trout also are stocked in some other waters across the state, such as Little Round Pond in Penobscot County and Pickerel Pond in Hancock County.
Many of the fall-stocked ponds will be stocked with brook trout in late April and early May. The spring stocked brookies, while not as large as the fall yearling trout, are of legal length or larger.
To get an idea of what waters near you are stocked with brook trout go to IFW's Stocking Reports online at www.mefishwildlife.com/fishing/reports/stocking/index.htm. Now start thinking about waters to fish this spring!

Wipe the winters dust from your rods and spool up your reels with new line. It's time for Maine's open water fishing season.
Central Maine anglers may wonder why some salmonid waters are managed so differently than others.
The answer is quite simple when you take into account that some waters have more potential than others. The better salmonid waters in the state will demonstrate the ability to hold over salmonids from one year to the next. Most landlocked salmon, togue, brown trout, rainbow trout and splake waters have this ability, enhancing the chances for an older or larger salmonid.
On the other hand many brook trout waters that are stocked in central Maine lack the ability to carry fish beyond the season they were stocked. These waters are referred to as "put and take" trout ponds. "Put and take" waters usually have low dissolved oxygen levels and warm water temperatures during the summer months, as well as abundant populations of predator and competitor fish such as white perch and chain pickerel.
Some waters in central Maine are able to carry over brook trout from year to year, at least in small numbers. These waters are referred to as "put grow and take waters".
Central Maine has a handful of very productive "put grow and take" brook trout waters. These waters often have stricter regulations to limit harvest until the fish have grown to a more desirable size. To enhance your chances to catch a larger-than-average brook trout this spring, we suggest you try any one of the following waters: Tyler Pond in Manchester; Peters Pond in Waldoboro' Spectacle Pond in Vassalboro; Kimball Pond in Vienna; Bowler Pond in Palermo; or Basin Pond in Fayette.

Open Water Fishing Preview
Exciting spring fishing opportunities abound for anglers in the Downeast region. Many lakes and ponds are ice-free with immediate action for trout and salmon. The following lakes and ponds represent waters recommended to anglers by their regional fisheries biologists: Greg Burr, Joe Overlock, and Rick Jordan during April, May and June.
Hancock County
Brook Trout:
Lakewood Pond (Bar Harbor): This small pond, located within Acadia National Park, gets stocked with 600 fall fingerling 6- to 8-inch trout and has very little use in the winter because it's a mile walk behind a Park gate. The gate is opened by the end of April and allows anglers to drive within 200 feet of the pond. Excellent brook trout fishing can be found here from either the shore or a canoe.
Little Tunk Pond (Sullivan): This pond located at the base of Black Mountain can be accessed by 10 minute walking trail from the Frenchman's Bay Conservancy parking area off Route 183. It is stocked with 4,200 fall fingerling 6- to 8-inch trout. It gets very little use in the winter and offers spring anglers excellent fishing from shore or by canoe.
Simmons Pond (Hancock): Located behind a gate until the muddy road dries, this pond offers walk-in access for its early anglers. The 5-minute walk from the parking area is worth the trip as this spring-fed kettle hole pond holds stocked trout to sizes of 15-16 inches. It is stocked annually with 525 fall fingerling 6- to 8"-inch trout and 100 8- to 10-inch trout in the spring. The pond is closed to ice fishing, so all stocked fish are reserved for open-water anglers. Simmons is an excellent early pond for shore anglers, float tubers, or canoe fishermen.
Upper Hadlock Pond (Northeast Harbor): This pond is one of the first coastal trout ponds to go ice-free. It is not open to ice fishing, so spring, summer and fall anglers get all the benefits, especially in the early spring. The pond is located roadside of Route 198 and can be fished very successfully from shore or a small boat. It gets stocked with 1,400 fall fingerling 6- to 8-inch trout as well as 75 fall yearling 12- to 14-inch trout. This is an excellent choice for early spring fly or spin casting or trolling.
Echo Lake (Southwest Harbor): This larger 200-acre trout pond is managed for larger fish. Many brook trout here average between 12 and 14 inches with some attaining sizes of 18 inches. The pond also provides good fishing for landlocked salmon that range in length from 16 to 22 inches. This pond can fished from shore and is just a short walk from Route 102, or anglers can launch boats at the Ike's Point landing. Most anglers have great success trolling flies or lures. It is stocked with 3,500 fall fingerling 6- to 8-inch and 400 8- to 10-inch trout as well as 75 salmon.
Fox Pond (T10 SD): This picturesque roadside pond located on Route 182 in the Black Woods is one of the area's most popular trout waters. Most anglers kick back on the shore with their family and throw out worms with great success. Others prefer to fly or spin cast with equal success. Some anglers launch a small boat at the public access and troll and do extremely well. The pond is stocked with lots of trout from its 3,000 6- to 8-inch fall fingerlings and 400 8- to 10-inch spring yearling trout to its 50 10- to 13-inch fall yearling brown trout. This pond produces great fishing for good numbers of brook trout and large brown trout.
Orland River (Orland): This river begins at the base of the Alamoosook Lake dam and is stocked with 600 spring yearling 8- to 10-inch brook trout in May making for terrific fly, spin, or worm fishing opportunities.
Moosehorn Stream (Bucksport): This stream crosses Route 46 and is stocked with 500 8- to 10-inch spring yearling brook trout spread out through a ¼-mile portion of the stream mostly upstream of the Route 46 bridge and off the town of Bucksport streamside property. This is a terrific spot to take a youngster and worm fish either from the shore or from a canoe.
We also recommend the following terrific wild brook trout streams;
West Branch of the Union River, Middle Branch of the Union River, Bog River – Eastbrook, Mann Brook – Dedham, Tunk Stream – Unionville, Tannery Brook – Otis, Johnny's Brook – Franklin, West Branch of the Narraquagus River, Dumb Brook – Mariaville, Beaver Brook – Aurora, Kebo Brook – Bar Harbor and Hothole Brook – Orland.
Long Pond (Mount Desert): This pond is stocked annually with 250 salmon and is producing good numbers of 16- to 19-inch fish. It is one of the first coastal salmon waters to go ice-free in April, and is a good bet for early spring salmon trolling.
Phillips Lake (Dedham): This lake gets very little fishing use in the winter and offers good salmon trolling in May and June. It gets stocked with 350 salmon annually.
Hopkins Pond (Clifton): After its first two initial stockings of salmon, this pond is now producing fish up to 20 inches. Most salmon trollers don't think of the water but they should. It's a sleeper and well worth trolling this spring.
Tunk Lake (T 10 SD): The traveling conditions were not good this past winter so the use by ice fishermen was low, making more salmon available to open-water anglers. Tunk gets stocked with 350 to 500 salmon each spring and they are growing well. The surface waters are slow to warm up but when they do in the latter part of May anglers should make Tunk one of their spring trolling destinations.
Brown trout:
Lower Patten Pond (Surry): This water has been stocked twice in the last two years with large fall yearling browns. They should be growing well and produce a good ice-out fishery for trollers who like run flies or lures just off the drop offs as soon as the pond sheds its winter coat. Fishing regulations require that all brown trout must be released at this pond.
Walker Pond (Brooksville): If you're looking for big browns this is the pond. Walkers has not been stocked for several years but the brown trout here grow fast and get big. Anglers who don't mind putting a little more time in trolling off the drop offs as soon as the ice goes out could potentially land a brown between 4 and 12 pounds.
Washington County
Brook trout:
Simpson Pond (Roque Bluffs): This pond is situated in the middle of Roque Bluffs State Park and is the first pond to go ice free in early April. We highly recommend this as an early fishing destination, as well as later in May after the pond receives its annual stocking of 200 spring yearling 8- to 10-inch brook trout. Simpson Pond also gets stocked with 75 brown trout. The pond holds trout to older ages and larger sizes. It's not uncommon to catch brook trout from 11 to 15 inches. It also produces good numbers of 15 to 17 inch browns with an occasional larger fish.
West Pike Brook Pond (T18 MD): Located just outside of Cherryfield, this pond is a local favorite for anglers who like to hook into brookies between 12 and 15 inches. The pond is stocked annually with 1,200 6- to 8-inch fall fingerling trout with good survival for good numbers of larger individuals that anglers begin catching as soon as the ice starts to recede away from the shore. Most fishermen shore fish with artificial lures but there is also a boat launch for small craft, and some anglers prefer to spin or fly cast from a canoe.
Montegail Pond (Centerville); This pond is tucked away in the blueberry barrens and is stocked annually with 2,500 6- to 8-inch fall fingerlings and 300 spring yearling 8- to 10-inch trout plus 175 large 11- to 14-inch fall yearling trout. It has many springs where trout like to hold out in midsummer. Anglers who fish this early can have some fantastic fishing.
Huntley Creek Pond (Cutler): This old Navy base pond gets stocked annually in May with 600 spring yearling 8- to 10-inch trout. It's a great spot to take a child or the whole family for a day of fishing and picnicking.
Six Mile Lake (Marshfield): This lake is located just outside of the town of Machias off Route 192. It is stocked heavily annually with 1,950 6- to 8-inch fall fingerling and 700 8- to 10-inch spring yearling trout. This pond produces some holdover trout of larger sizes so that early spring anglers commonly catch fish from 12 to 16 inches.
North & South Meyers Pond: These kettle-hole ponds are "kids only" waters that sit side by side off the blueberry barrens in Columbia. Separated only by a thin esker, kids and their parents have a choice of which they would like to try first. If the fish aren't biting in one then just hop over the hill and try the other. These waters are stocked heavily in the fall with 250 and 150 6- to 80-inch trout that holdover to sizes of 11 to 14 inches. These ponds are very good fishing and are well worth taking the kids to.
Pineo Pond (Deblois): This fly-fishing only kettle-hole pond situated just off the Deblois blueberry barrens a few miles off Route 193. Fishermen can easily fly fish from shore or launch their canoe from the access road. This pond is stocked with 300 6- to 8-inch fall fingerling trout. It commonly holds over trout to 12- to 16 inches.
Monroe Lake (T 43 MD): This pond is remote pond located just north of the Stud Mill Road. It is stocked heavily with 3,150 fall fingerling brook trout. It is closed to ice fishing so the early spring angler can have some very fast fishing. Trout here average from 11 to 15 inches.
Pork Barrel Lake (T6 R1): Pork Barrel is a wilderness pond located just northeast of West Grand Lake. Anglers reach it with with four-wheel drive vehicles. Its access road is located off the Amazon Road about 12 miles outside of the village of Grand Lake Stream. The pond holds lots of 12 to 14 inch trout and is stocked with 650 fall fingerlings. Its best fished from a float tube or canoe, and the carry-in off the access road is 100 feet.
Middle River (Marshfield): This stream runs beside Route 192 just north of Machias. It has a "kids only" section and it's stocked twice between the end of May and the beginning of June. It's great place to stop roadside and help your child cast a worm to catch their first trout.
The following are some of the best wild brook trout streams: West Branch of the Machias River, Crooked River, Fifth Lake Stream, Old Stream, Chandler River, Dennys River, Mopang Stream, Little Mopang Stream, East Machias River, and the Pleasant River.
Landlocked Salmon:
Grand Lake Stream: One of the top five landlocked salmon fly fishing rivers in the state this water produces fast fishing in the Dam Pool in early April and May as fresh salmon arrive from West Grand Lake and disperse into the lower pools. This memorable and beautiful stream averages 100' wide and is hard to beat for catch rates of fish between 16 and 20 inches.
Cathance Lake (Cooper); This lake is one of Washington County's premier salmon waters. It is stocked annually with 900 to 1,200 spring yearling 8- to 10-inch salmon. It grows fish quickly, with salmon averaging between 16 and 20 inches with some reaching up to 4 pounds. It also has a fishery for wild brook trout that are occasionally reach lengths of 12 to 18 inches. This water can have fast fishing immediately after ice-out, which usually occurs by April 20.
West Grand Lake (Grand Lake Stream): This 14,000-acre lake is one of the top salmon waters in the state and can yield fast top water fishing within 1 to 2 weeks after the ice goes out. This lake is usually stocked with 10,000 to 11,000 salmon annually and fish average between 15 and 19 inches.
Brown Trout:
Pennamaquan Lake (Charlotte): This lake produces some of the nicest sized brown trout in the county. Trollers here are running lures and flies along the dropoffs to catch fish between 16 and 22 inches.
Because many of the waters in this report have special fishing regulations, anglers are advised to consult their lawbook or the online listing of fishing regulations at the following link: http://www.maine.gov/ifw/laws_rules/fishing/openwater/index.htm

Clearwater Lake open to dipnet smelting
Note that Clearwater Lake in Industry, Franklin County, is open to dipnet smelting this spring. This regulation change applies to the lake only, not the tributaries, and results from action taken by the Advisory Council in response to a citizen petition. For that reason, the change is not listed in this year's fishing lawbook.
The lake was closed to smelting effective 1996 because of littering and vandalism, including rutting up private roads, so smelters will have to be on their good behavior to assure that it isn't closed again. We suggest that smelters access the smelting sites, off the mouths of brooks, by boat if possible.
Portion of Magalloway River open to kids fishing
The Magalloway River Big, from Bennett's Covered Bridge in Lincoln Plantation upstream to red posts (approximately 1,300 feet), will be open to kids fishing from June 1 to Aug. 15. Persons under 16 years of age who wish to fish under the S-4 regulation may only do so from shore with barbless hooks. Under the S-4 regulation, the use or possession of live fish as bait is prohibited, but the use of dead fish, salmon eggs and worms are permitted.
Open Water Fishing Preview
The recent rains are delaying productive stream fishing, but are also speeding the demise of the ice on lakes and ponds. We're looking for smelt runs to begin within the next two weeks in the lower elevations of our Region -- those waters not more than about 20 miles north of Route 2. For waters in the higher elevations, such as the Rangeley's, smelt won't run for another week or two after that. And when the smelts begin to run, ice outs are not far behind - this is the best time to troll for salmon.
We have an overabundance of salmon at Rangeley Lake and Mooselookmeguntic Lake, and are encouraging anglers to keep a fish to help thin them out a bit. Growth rates of salmon at both waters, as well as at the Richardson's, improved last year. Rangeley and Mooselookmeguntic also have some nice brook trout. Aziscohos should have great fishing for both salmon and brookies, too.
As many anglers know, we greatly expanded our spring yearling brook trout stocking program after the Embden Rearing Station was rebuilt in 2005, and these stockings will be listed as they occur on our web site. We begin stocking as soon as the ice is out in lakes and as soon as the spring flows abate in rivers.

Information Hearing
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will be holding a public hearing on its antlerless deer permit proposal at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13, at Greenville High School, Pritham Avenue, in Greenville.
Immediately after that hearing, the department will hold an information hearing regarding fishing regulations on Moosehead Lake.
Open Water Fishing Preview
After a long and successful winter of ice fishing in the Moosehead Lake region, we will soon hear the delightful words, "ice-out!" and the angler will find a variety of opportunities.
Snow melt and spring run-off are changing angling opportunities daily. Many of our ponds and lakes still are covered with ice, but shortly after ice out they will produce some of the fastest fishing of the open water season. The region has a variety of fish species for anglers to pursue and various types of angling techniques are necessary to bag your quarry.
Consider how lake trout fishing strategies change with the season. Lake trout typically seek a constant water temperature between 40-52 degrees Fahrenheit. Lake trout can be targeted between the surface and at depth of 15 feet at ice-out. In mid- to late spring, anglers will need to get down to deeper water around depths of 30–50 feet as water temperatures increase.
Lake trout primarily feed on small fish, but can be taken with heavy jigs or cut bait and are also caught by trolling large spoons and lures. Anglers can find some fast fishing on Moosehead Lake, First Roach Pond and Lower Wilson Pond if they are targeting lake trout this spring.
Spring also is a good time to find landlocked salmon cruising the shallows and the mouths of tributaries. Salmon are looking for a feed of smelts as they begin to congregate in preparation for their annual spawning runs. Gray Ghosts, Black Ghosts, Mickey Fins, and a variety of other smelt imitation streamer patterns can be deadly this time of year.
Among of the Moosehead Region's salmon waters to try this spring are Chesuncook Lake, Brassua Lake, Moosehead Lake and First Roach Pond. There also are good opportunities to catch landlocked salmon on some of our local river fisheries like the Roach River, Moose River, East and West outlets of the Kennebec River, and the West Branch of the Penobscot.
Many of the season's largest brook trout are caught along the shore as water temperatures begin to increase. Even the most novice angler can find brook trout that will take an assortment of flies, lures and bait. Make sure to check the law book to determine which fishing gear is allowed on bodies of water you plan to fish.
Once we begin to see an increase in water temperatures and a decrease in stream and river flows, we will begin our annual spring stocking of legal-size brook trout. These brook trout are stocked in easily accessible waters through the region to create "instant fishing" opportunities. Many of these waters are stocked on more than one occasion to distribute the catch among anglers and to ensure fishing success longer into the season.
List of Spring stocked brook trout:
Bennett Pond, Parkman; Big Wood, Jackman; Doe Pond, Monson; Drummond Pond, Abbott (family fishing area); Fitzgerald Pond, Big Moose Township; Gravel Pit Pond, Little Moose Township (family fishing area); Hebron Lake, Monson; Kiwanis Park Pond (Dunham Brook), Dover-Foxcroft (restricted to anglers under 16); Moose River, Jackman; Parlin Pond, Parlin Pond Township; Piscataquis River, Dover-Foxcroft and Guilford; Power Trout Pond, Little Moose Township; Prong Pond, Beaver Cove Township; Sawyer Pond, Greenville; Shadow Pond, Little Moose Township; Shirley Pond, Shirley; Snow's Pond, Dover-Foxcroft; Spectacle Ponds, Monson; West Outlet Kennebec River, Sapling; and Whetstone Pond, Blanchard Township.
Regional fisheries biologists rely heavily on voluntary information to evaluate the success of the region's fisheries. The number of waters biologists are able to sample in a season is very low when you begin to consider the number of waters managed by the Moosehead fisheries staff. In the Moosehead Lake Region, three fisheries biologists are responsible for the management of 592 Great Ponds (greater than 10 acres) and 686 ponds less than 10 acres, along with 4,125 miles of stream habitat located in 125 townships in Piscataquis and Somerset Counties. So providing voluntary catch information as a voluntary record-book keeper or by filling out survey cards at access sites is one of the most important contributions an angler can make to the Fishery Division's fishery management program.
Information on where and when you fish, along with the number and sizes of fish you catch, provides the IF&W Fisheries Division with the information needed to help evaluate strategies such as stocking allocations and regulation changes. Since the bottom line of the success of any fishery is how well it provides to the rod and reel, this information is essential for making sound fishery management decisions.
The voluntary fishing record program has been one of our more successful endeavors and continues to provide useful data to state fisheries biologists. Any Moosehead region angler interested in providing this information or knows of any other anglers who might be interested in maintaining a voluntary fishing record book and would like to become a member of this program, please have them contact me, Stephen Seeback, at 695-3756.
If you fish other regions of the state and would like to get involved in this program, please contact the regional office of the region you do most of your fishing activity.

Region F - Penobscot Valley Region - Photos from the field!
Last week's wind and rain, followed by the fantastically warm weather earlier in the week, has caused most of the lakes in Region F to shed their winter ice cover. In fact, many of the lakes in central Penobscot County have been ice free for over a week.
The ice at East Grand Lake in northern Washington County was breaking up last Thursday, and the entire lake should be ice free by now. East Musquash Lake and the other lakes along Route 6 east of Lincoln have been ice free for over a week. The ice went out of Schoodic last Tuesday and Cold Stream Pond a week and half ago.
The next month is prime time for spring fishing for salmon, trout and togue as the lakes will have "turned over," -- surface water temperatures will have warmed and the fish will be active and in the mood for a feast.
Region F offers many opportunities when it comes to cold water fishing. Productive salmon waters in central Maine include the Jo-Mary's (Upper, Middle, and Lower), Millinocket Lake, and the Pemadumcook chain of lakes all just north and west of the town of Millinocket.
Pleasant Lake in Island Falls and Deering Lake in Weston both have the reputation of producing some of the fattest salmon in Region F. The salmon at East Grand Lake in Danforth and Weston showed improvement during this last winter's ice fishing season in terms of size quality and catch rates, and we expect this trend to continue through the 2009 open water fishing season.
Traditional salmon lakes east of the town of Lincoln include East Musquash Lake, Pleasant Lake (in Kossuth), Junior Lake and Lower and Upper Sysladobsis (Dobsie) Lakes, which can all be accessed from Route 6 running east from Lincoln to Topsfield.
West, Duck, Spring and Nicatous Lakes, all east of the town of Burlington, produce healthy salmon with the occasional fish tipping the scales over 4 pounds.
Finally, anglers have a legitimate chance of catching trophy sized salmon (over 5 pounds) at Schoodic Lake and Cold Stream Pond. In recent years, the size and quality of salmon at both of these waters has responded exceptionally to reduced stocking rates.
Some of the lake trout waters in this region include Millinocket, Ambajesus, Pemadumcook, Pleasant Lake (in Kossuth), Lower Jo-Mary, and 1st and 3rd Debsconeag Lakes, Schoodic Lake and Cold Stream Pond.
Matagamon Lake continues to produce some decent togue, however in recent years the growth rate has declined, prompting some changes in our management, including liberalizing the size and bag limit (3 fish, 14 inches, only one over 18 inches), and we have cancelled the stocking of togue for several years until we see an improvement in the growth trend. We encourage anglers to keep these smaller togue, as thinning some of the stock piled fish from the lake will help us meet our management goals.
Brook trout opportunities in Region F are plentiful both in streams, and lakes and ponds (too many to name), offering fishing over both stocked and wild populations of fish. Nearly 30,000 spring yearling brook trout ranging in size from 8-10 inches will be stocked in the region's waters this spring. Also, holdover fall yearling brook trout (12-16 inches) as well as surplus brood fish (16-18 inches) stocked out in fall of 2008 provide an added bonus to anglers lucky enough to coax one into biting.
Finally, as always, the fisheries and hatchery staff here in Enfield want to make special mention of the "kids only" waters (under the age of 15) in the Region. In the next few weeks, Pickerel Pond on the Stud Mill Road near Old Town, the "Fire Pond" in Burlington, Hannington Pond in Reed Plantation, Giles Pond in Patten, Rock Crusher Pond in Island Falls, a small section of Mattagodus Stream in Springfield, Rocky Brook in Lincoln, and a small section of Cold Stream in Enfield will all be stocked with spring yearling brook trout. Some of these waters may also receive larger surplus or retired brood fish, some weighing nearly 4 pounds.
You can find updates as to when these waters are stocked by visiting the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's website at: http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/reports/stocking/index.htm. Put the spring cleaning chores aside for an afternoon and take the kids fishing.

Region G - Aroostook County - Photos from the field!
Most of the lakes and ponds in northern Maine shed their coat of ice during the last week of April and those remaining should be ice-free by the end of this week. This is about a week earlier than normal.
Brook trout in the numerous small ponds that were stocked with fall fingerlings have been producing for anglers. Among these waters are Timoney Lake, Carry Lake, Echo Lake, Hanson Brook Lake, and Trafton Lake. Up in northern Aroostook, Daigle Pond and Black Lake are early ice out favorites.
Staff from the Ashland office recently was at the Grand Lake Stream hatchery marking a number of spring yearling trout that will be stocked in the next couple of weeks. Popular waters that will receive spring yearling trout include Monson Pond, Conroy Lake, Mud Pond, and the East Branch Mattawamkeag River.
The Fish River Chain remains a destination for anglers at ice out. While all of the lakes offer opportunity for brook trout and salmon, Eagle Lake is the only water with a sizeable togue population. Togue fishing in this lake was very good this winter and hopefully angler success will continue into the open water season.
Popular backcountry lakes include Big Eagle, Churchill, Umsaskis and Round Pond in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. Watercraft restrictions exist on these waters so first time visitors are encouraged to check the lawbook. Spider Lake, Cliff Lake, Millimagassett Lake and 2nd Musquacook Lake are other early destinations for trout and togue.
Anglers traveling roads within the North Maine Woods management area should be respectful of the industrial landowners providing road access by not traveling on secondary roads that are soft and easily rutted. Information for North Maine Woods, Inc. can be obtained from the Ashland office at 435-6213 or visit www.northmainewoods.org.
River flows are high but can be expected to recede in the coming week as snow and ice leave the woods and waters. Although Memorial Day is early this year, conditions should be good for excellent fishing flows over the long weekend. Black flies, as well as trout, will be hungry so don't forget the fly dope. The Aroostook, Fish and Allagash Rivers are all good candidates for brook trout. The Meduxnekeag River in southern Aroostook harbors a population of brown trout. Finally, don't forget, salmon caught from the flowing waters of the Aroostook River drainage must be immediately released!
As always, we caution all anglers to be aware of the cold water temperatures and to please wear a life jacket when fishing out of watercraft. Good luck fishing this season.

Four displaced in separate Anne Arundel Co. fires
Four people were displaced as a result of two separate fires in Anne Arundel County Tuesday afternoon.
Four people were displaced as a result of two separate fires in Anne Arundel County Tuesday afternoon.
After 6 p.m., smoke and fire were reported coming from the roof of a two-story single family home in the 8000 block of Big Pool Road in Maryland City, fire department officials said. No injuries were reported, but two adults and a juvenile were displaced.
The fire, which was under control at 6:30 p.m., caused $10,000 worth of damage to the home. The department is still investigating the cause.
Less than 15 minutes later, firefighters responded to a kitchen fire at a mid-rise building in the 7800 block of Gordon Court in Glen Burnie, according to a release. One resident was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Fire officials said the fire was contained in the apartment of origin, and was accidental in nature. The incident caused $12,000 in damage.

connecting to their DB
Good day,
here the situtation:
-I have the clients asp pages that links to their database.
-They gave me a copy of their DB as an Access file
--Now I need to run a couple of queries to check my pages from my server, how do I connect to my DB without rewriting their code(or change it as little as possible) because after the client aproves the page they put it back on their server, with the old path to connect to their DB
<object id="objCONN" Progid="ADODB.Connection" Runat="server">
<object id="rs1" Progid="ADODB.Recordset" Runat="server">
<object id="objRS2" Progid="ADODB.Recordset" Runat="server">
<%Dim sql1
objCONN.open Application("Products_ConnectionString")
sql1 = "SELECT i, school, date_start, career_fair FROM recruiting_calendar ORDER BY date_start DESC"
objRS1.CursorType = 2
objRS1.source = sql1
objRS1.ActiveConnection = objCONN
???sorry if this sounds like a newbie question but I am a newbie???
any help or direction would be great

The best method for this is to store the connection string on another page. Then when you need to use the connection string you would simply use an include file to get it. This way you only have one page to change. on a small site with only a couple pages it isnt a problem to change the connection string on each page but when you work on a large site with hundreds of pages it is a pain to do so on each one. In this example i have named the page dbpath.asp and it will show where the database is located on the server. Which in this instance is a directory named Database inside the inetpub directory but outside of the wwwroot directory
Also I would get rid of the object tags and handle the creation of the objects inside the script delimeters. This way you can clear them from memory when you are done using them.Code:<% Dim myConnectionString, dbPath dbPath = dbPath = "d:\inetpub\Database\" myConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & dbPath & "myAccessDatabase.mdb; Jet OLEDB:Database
use this instead
An even more efficient way is to dump the recordset object and just use the connection object's execute method to get your results.Code:<!--#include file="dbpath.asp"--> <% dim objConn, sql1, objRs1 Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objConn.Open myConnectionString sql1 = "SELECT i, school, date_start, career_fair FROM recruiting_calendar ORDER BY date_start DESC" Set objRs1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") objRs1.Open SQL, objConn, 2, 3 If Not objRs1.BOF And Not objRs1.EOF Then 'display your results End If 'remember to close and release the objects from memory when done using them objConn.close Set objConn = Nothing objRs1.close Set objRs1 = Nothing %>

A banner; sign; memorial.And He will lift up an ENSIGN to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. ( Isaiah 5:26 )
(nes ; in the Authorized Version generally "ensign," sometimes "standard;" degel , "standard," with the exception of ( Solomon 2:4 ) "banner;" oth , "ensign"). This distinction between these three Hebrew terms is sufficiently marked by their respective uses. Nes is a signal , and not a military standard. It is an occasional signal, which was exhibited on the top of a pole from a bare mountain-top, ( Isaiah 13:2 ; 18:3 ) degel a military standard for a large division of an army; and oth the same for a small one. Neither of them, however, expresses the idea which "standard" conveys to our minds, viz. a flag. The standards in use among the Hebrews probably resembled those of the Egyptians and Assyrians --a figure or device of some kind elevated on a pole; usually a sacred emblem, such as an animal, a boat, or the kings name.

These dynamic hair salons showcase the consistently evolving aesthetic that comes with architecture and the coiffure business.
It is captivating to see that coiffures are taking their avant-garde creations and applying them to their conceptual spaces to create fresh customer experiences that are bound to resonate well with demanding clientele.
A fantastically modern example of this conceptual tendency comes from the Zaha Hadid-designed pop-up salon that appeared at the London Design Festival. Titled 'Fudge Pop-Up Salon,' it incorporates the hyper-modern and inventive aesthetic of the revolutionary architect with the decadent luxury of a high-end hair salon.

Review for: About Face
from: Meadowlake Farm Honeybee Products LLC
By: Kelli Spears (May 5, 2011)
This cream is great. All really good natural ingredients with Honey at the top of the list. Exceptional for skin care, especially the face. The price isn't bad either , in my opinion. Maybe a little high for some people but, way better than some other companies that charge $48.00 and up for .5 oz with ingredients that no one should be putting on their skin. This price is well worth it when you consider all the great organic/botanical ingredients it contains. I would definitely recommend!

BOZEMAN -- New Montana State men's basketball coach Brian Fish has made his first additions to the roster, landing a pair of high school players out of Arizona.
Quinn Price, a 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward from Casa Grande, Arizona, and Zach Green, a 6-4, 195-pound guard from Gilbert, Arizona, signed letters of intent to join the Bobcats and will enter MSU as freshmen in the fall.
Price missed most of his senior season at Vista Grande High School with a finger injury, but still averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. As a junior he averaged 15.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.1 blocked shots, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Green missed his senior season with after an injury suffered in the season opener. He averaged 17.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists and steals per game as a junior.
"Zach and Quinn know each other well and have played with each other," Fish said. "I think it's coincidental they're coming here together, but they're friends so I think they're both excited to play on the same team. We'll look to build on the relationship because that's a talent-rich area."

rcht148 (2872453) writes "Rich Geldreich (game/graphics programmer) has made a blog post on the quality of different OpenGL Drivers. Using anonymous titles (Vendor A: Nvidia; Vendor B: AMD; Vendor C: Intel), he plots the landscape of game development using OpenGL. Vendor A, jovially known as 'Graphics Mafia' concentrates heavily on performance but won't share its specifications, thus blocking any open source driver implementations as much as possible. Vendor B has the most flaky drivers. They have good technical know-how on OpenGL but due to an extremely small team (money woes), they have shoddy drivers. Vendor C is extremely rich. It had not taken graphics seriously until a few years ago. They support open source specifications/drivers wholeheartedly but it will be few years before their drivers come to par with market standards. He concludes that using OpenGL is extremely difficult and without the blessings of these vendors, it's nearly impossible to ship a major gaming title."
Bismillah (993337) writes "The new Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act of 2013 is in effect in New Zealand and brings in several drastic changes for ISPs, telcos and service providers. One of the country's spy agencies, the GCSB, gets to decide on network equipment procurement and design decisions (PDF), plus operators have to register with the police and obtain security clearance for some staff. Somewhat illogically, the NZ government pushed through the law combining mandated communications interception capabilities for law enforcement, with undefined network security requirements as decided by the GCSB. All network operators are subject to the new law, including local providers as well as the likes of Facebook, Google, Microsoft, who have opposed it, saying the new statutes clash with overseas privacy legislation."
tsu doh nimh (609154) writes "A 16-year-old male from Ottawa, Canada has been arrested for allegedly making at least 30 fraudulent calls — including bomb threats and 'swattings' — to emergency services across North America over the past few months. Canadian media isn't identifying the youth because of laws that prevent the disclosure, but the alleged perpetrator was outed in a dox on Pastebin that was picked up by journalist Brian Krebs, who was twice the recipient of attempted swat raids at the hand of this kid. From the story: 'I told this user privately that targeting an investigative reporter maybe wasn't the brightest idea, and that he was likely to wind up in jail soon. But @ProbablyOnion was on a roll: That same day, he hung out his for-hire sign on Twitter, with the following message: "want someone swatted? Tweet me their name, address and I'll make it happen."'"
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "Things were looking up for Earth about 12,800 years ago. The last Ice Age was coming to an end, mammoths and other large mammals romped around North America, and humans were beginning to settle down and cultivate wild plants. Then, suddenly, the planet plunged into a deep freeze, returning to near-glacial temperatures for more than a millennium before getting warm again. The mammoths disappeared at about the same time, as did a major Native American culture that thrived on hunting them. A persistent band of researchers has blamed this apparent disaster on the impact of a comet or asteroid, but a new study concludes that the real explanation for the chill, at least, may lie strictly with Earth-bound events."
New submitter Czech37 (918252) writes "If you work in an organization that isn't focused on development, where computer systems are used to support other core business functions, getting management buy-in for the use of open source can be tricky. Here's how an academic librarian negotiated with his management to get them to give open source software a try, and the four phrases he recommends you avoid using." "Open Source," "Free [Software]," "Contribute," and "Development" appear to scare managers away.
An anonymous reader writes "$5 doesn't sound like much for a day of internet service in some contexts: it's less than you might pay for it in-flight, and less than a few espresso drinks if you're lured in by a coffee shop's Wi-Fi service. But not all internet service is created equal; would you pay $5 for a month of in-car internet service if it meant a 200-meg cap, which is (only) 'enough to stream more than 6.5 hours of music?' That's where a new dedicated Internet service from GM starts (also at the WSJ, paywalled), and it's $10 for drivers who aren't also OnStar subscribers. Probably a more likely option for the occasional road trip, though, is $5 per day service (no OnStar requirement) for 250MB of data. Why wouldn't someone just use a smartphone with a data plan, or a dedicated hotspot device? GM thinks they'll be drawn to 'a powerful antenna that's stronger than that of a smartphone, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot that operates without draining a mobile device's battery. That hotspot is on any time the car is on.'"
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "Are your lectures droning on? Change it up every 10 minutes with more active teaching techniques and more students will succeed, researchers say. A new study finds that undergraduate students in classes with traditional stand-and-deliver lectures are 1.5 times more likely to fail than students in classes that use more stimulating, so-called active learning methods."
Bob9113 (14996) writes "According to Glenn Greenwald, reporting in The Guardian: 'A June 2010 report from the head of the NSA's Access and Target Development department is shockingly explicit. The NSA routinely receives – or intercepts – routers, servers, and other computer network devices being exported from the US before they are delivered to the international customers. The agency then implants backdoor surveillance tools, repackages the devices with a factory seal, and sends them on. The NSA thus gains access to entire networks and all their users. The document gleefully observes that some "SIGINT tradecraft is very hands-on (literally!)".'"
You think you have problems getting a bank loan? It's much harder for a small-town woman in Uganda or India. But Indian microfinance provider ASOMI has more than 50 branches and over 40,000 clients, and is an active Mifos user. The loans ASOMI makes are absurdly small by U.S. bank (or Indian bank) standards. Ugandans in the same "I just need a little bit of money to start (or expand) my business" predicament can turn to RedMutual Microfinance. And so on around the world, with the bulk of microfinance operators who use open source Mifos concentrated in S. and S.E. Asia and India. "But," you say, "I'm an IT person. I don't want to go into the microfinance business, and one of the little loans (often less than $100) they deal with wouldn't help me." True. But you can become a Mifos Specialist, which Mifos defines as "a consulting firm that provides technical support and consultation for microfinance institutions evaluating and deploying Mifos, and for ongoing use and customization." You won't get rich doing this, but it looks like there's a decent living (by Kenyan or Indonesian standards) in working with Mifos. They can use volunteer help, too. So check out Mifos and see if it has anything to offer you -- or if you have anything to offer Mifos. Either way, you can help poor people in poor countries become entrepreneurs and break the cycle of poverty that holds them down. (Alternate video link)
mdsolar (1045926) writes "The collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in West Antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported Monday. The finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable. The rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that it will probably speed up so sharply as to become a crisis."
Mark.JUK (1222360) writes "Japanese mobile operator NTT DOCOMO has announced that they'll make use of Ericsson's advanced antenna technologies and radio base stations in order to conduct one of the world's first trials of a possible 5G based Mobile Broadband technology in Yokosuka (Japan), which aims to deliver downstream speeds of more than 10 Gigabits per second using the 15GHz radio spectrum frequency. But this is just one possible candidate for 5G connectivity and many organizations are still working to try and define an official standard, while most countries don't expect the first services to be deployed until around the year 2020."
Lasrick (2629253) writes "Bob Alvarez has a terrific article on the history and realities of thorium as an energy fuel: For 50 years the US has tried to develop thorium as an energy source for nuclear reactors, and that effort has mostly failed. Besides the extraordinary costs involved, In the process of pursuing thorium-based reactors a fair amount of uranium 233 has been created, and 96 kilograms of the stuff (enough to fuel 12 nuclear weapons) is now missing from the US national inventory. On top of that, the federal government is attempting to force Nevada into accepting a bunch of the uranium 233, as is, for disposal in a landfill (the Nevada Nuclear Security Site). 'Because such disposal would violate the agency's formal safeguards and radioactive waste disposal requirements, the Energy Department changed those rules, which it can do without public notification or comment. Never before has the agency or its predecessors taken steps to deliberately dump a large amount of highly concentrated fissile material in a landfill, an action that violates international standards and norms.'"
DavidGilbert99 (2607235) writes "According to the customer contract those signing up for a $240,000 flight on Virgin Galactic's spaceship the company will bring you 'at least 50 miles' above sea level. The problem is that the internationally accepted boundary for outer space is 62 miles above sea level — known as the Karman Line. Virgin is trying to get around the issue by claiming it is using a definition of space used by NASA — in the 1960s."
Mcusanelli (3564469) writes "HP has become the most recent platinum member of OpenDaylight, the open source software-defined networking (SDN) project sponsored by the Linux Foundation. From the article: 'The Linux Foundation, which sponsors OpenDaylight as a collaborative project, is welcoming the addition of HP to the line-up of vendors helping to lead OpenDaylight -- which already includes Brocade, Cisco, Citrix, Ericsson, IBM, Juniper, Microsoft and Red Hat as platinum members -- as a sign of industry convergence around OpenDaylight as the SDN platform of choice. "We are seeing all the major players aligning their SDN strategies around OpenDaylight. HP will be another galvanizing force for the project and industry, bringing the spirit of partnership and collaboration that has made them so successful," Neela Jacques, executive director, OpenDaylight, said in a statement.'"
cartechboy (2660665) writes "To date, carbon fiber has been expensive and presents different production challenges than traditional steel and aluminum. But now it seems as if the advanced material is about to become truly mainstream--BMW has announced it plans to triple carbon fiber reinforced plastic output at its Moses Lake facility in Washington state. Currently, the SGL Group plant, a joint venture partner of BMW Group, has the production capacity for about 3,000 tons of carbon fiber per annum. Two productions lines are currently going with the output dedicated to BMW's i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles. SGL is already working on a third and fourth production line which would double production to 6,000 tons per year, but a fifth and sixth are on the way, set to triple capacity to 9,000 tons every year. This extra output won't be reserved exclusively for BMW's i range. Several future BMW models will make use of the lightweight material. Now the only question is how long before carbon fiber vehicle construction becomes as common as aluminum?"
An anonymous reader writes "Engadget takes a look at smart gun technology currently available and what the future might hold. From the article: 'While the idea of a gun that couldn't be turned on its owner seems like an obvious win for everyone involved, there are a number of problems with the concept. Chief among those worries: the safety mechanism will fail when it's needed most. If you're relying on a weapon for defense, the last thing you want is another avenue for failure. Electronics aren't perfect. Sometimes cameras can't autofocus. Cable boxes freeze up when browsing the channel guide. The equivalent, seemingly small glitch in a smart gun could be the difference between life and death.'"
Last month Gamespy announced it would be shutting down at the end of May. Many game makers relied upon Gamespy for all of the multiplayer and online services related to their games, and there was a scramble to transition those games away from Gamespy. Now, Electronic Arts has decided it's not worth the trouble for older titles. They're terminating online support for a huge number of games. The game list includes: Battlefield 2, Crysis 1 & 2, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, and Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2. EA said, "As games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level - typically fewer than 1 per cent of all peak online players across all EA titles - where it's no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these games up and running."

An anonymous reader writes with news that Michael Devine, one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit accusing tech firms including Apple and Google of conspiring to keep salaries low, has asked the court to reject a $324 million settlement. "Apple has more than $150 billion in the bank, eclipsing the combined cash reserves of Israel and Britain. Google, Intel and Adobe have a total of about $80 billion stored up for a rainy day. Against such tremendous cash hoards, $324 million is chump change. But that is what the four technology companies have agreed to pay to settle a class action brought by their own employees. The suit, which was on track to go to trial in San Jose, Calif., at the end of May, promised weeks if not months of damaging revelations about how Silicon Valley executives conspired to suppress wages and limit competition. Details of the settlement are still under wraps. 'The class wants a chance at real justice,' he wrote. 'We want our day in court.' He noted that the settlement amount was about one-tenth of the estimated $3 billion lost in compensation by the 64,000 class members. In a successful trial, antitrust laws would triple that sum. 'As an analogy,' Mr. Devine wrote, 'if a shoplifter is caught on video stealing a $400 iPad from the Apple Store, would a fair and just resolution be for the shoplifter to pay Apple $40, keep the iPad, and walk away with no record or admission of wrongdoing? Of course not.' 'If the other class members join me in opposition, I believe we will be successful in convincing the court to give us our due process,' Mr. Devine said in an interview on Sunday. He has set up a website, Tech Worker Justice, and is looking for legal representation. Any challenge will take many months. The other three class representatives could not be reached for comment over the weekend."
mask.of.sanity (1228908) writes "Criminals could potentially cause black-outs and mess with power grid configurations by exploiting flaws in a popular solar panel management system used by thousands of homes and businesses. The threat is substantial because, as the company boasts, its eponymous management system runs globally on roughly 229,300 solar plants that typically pump out 566TWh of electrical energy."
First time accepted submitter Mr D from 63 (3395377) writes in with news about a WHOI vehicle that has been feared lost. "On Saturday, May 10, 2014, at 2 p.m. local time (10 p.m. Friday EDT), the hybrid remotely operated vehicle Nereus was confirmed lost at 9,990 meters (6.2 miles) depth in the Kermadec Trench northeast of New Zealand. The unmanned vehicle was working as part of a mission to explore the ocean's hadal region from 6,000 to nearly 11,000 meters deep. Scientists say a portion of it likely imploded under pressure as great as 16,000 pounds per square inch."
concertina226 (2447056) writes "The United Nations will debate the use of killer robots for the first time at the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) this week, but human rights activists are calling for the robots to be banned. Human Rights Watch and Harvard Law School's International Human Rights Clinic have published a new report entitled 'Shaking the Foundations: The Human Rights Implications of Killer Robots', which calls for killer robots to be banned to prevent a potential arms race between countries. Killer robots, or fully autonomous weapons, do not yet exist but would be the next step after remote-controlled armed drones used by the US military today. Fully autonomous weapons would have the ability to identify and fire on targets without human intervention, putting compliance with international humanitarian laws in doubt. Among the problems with killer robots highlighted in the report is the risk of criminal liability for a military officer, programmer or weapons manufacturer who created or used an autonomous weapon with intent to kill. If a robot killed arbitrarily, it would be difficult to hold anyone accountable."
An anonymous reader writes "FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he will revise proposed rules for regulating broadband Internet, and is offering assurances that the agency won't allow companies to segregate Web traffic into fast and slow lanes. From the article: 'The new language by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to be circulated as early as Monday is an attempt to address criticism of his proposal unveiled last month that would ban broadband providers from blocking or slowing down websites but allow them to strike deals in which content companies could pay them for faster delivery of Web content to customers.'"
An anonymous reader writes "A team of researchers led by astronomer Ivan Ramirez of the University of Texas — Austin has identified the first 'sibling' of the sun, a star almost certainly born from the same cloud of gas and dust as our star. 'Astronomers had been observing the star for almost two decades without realizing it's the long-lost sister of the Sun. No doubt we have catalogued other solar siblings whose common heritage has yet to be discovered. Indeed, the UT team, lead by astronomer Ivan Ramirez, is confident that the identification of HD 162826 is just the beginning. "We want to know where we were born," Ramirez said in a statement. "If we can figure out in what part of the galaxy the Sun formed, we can constrain conditions on the early solar system. That could help us understand why we are here."'"
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "Tim Nudd writes that it's the perfect match: Young Brazilians want to learn English. Elderly Americans living in retirement homes just want someone to talk to. Why not connect them? The advertising company FCB Brazil did just that with its 'Speaking Exchange' project for CNA language schools where young Brazilians and older Americans connect via Web chats, and they not only begin to share a language—they develop relationships that enrich both sides culturally and emotionally. 'The goal of the Speaking Exchange project is to transform lives,' says Luciana Fortuna. 'Our students have the opportunity to practice English with people who are willing to listen. During the chat sessions, the students discuss ideas and information from their lives in Brazil with the American senior citizens, many of whom have never had contact with anyone from Brazil before.' The pilot project was implemented at a CNA school in Liberdade, Brazil, and the Windsor Park Retirement Community in Chicago. The conversations are recorded and uploaded as private YouTube videos for the teachers to evaluate the students' development. 'The idea is simple and it's a win-win proposition for both the students and the American senior citizens. It's exciting to see their reactions and contentment. It truly benefits both sides,' says Joanna Monteiro."

Who Killed Spotify?
Re:Free service only (257 comments)
Basically that - various sources say that the royalties charged to Spotify per play are on the order of 1p, which very rapidly becomes the dominant cost. If you have a million listeners online, it's about a hundred grand an hour in royalties. That adds up quickly. Other sources (radio, both classic and internet-based) which don't offer on-demand music don't have to pay on a per-listener basis, and so can actually benefit from economies of scale.
That said, based on Spotify's revenues which they have publicly stated along with subscriber numbers, it looks like they made about 50p in advertising per "free" user over the whole of 2009. While some argue they're paying for their experience with ads, 50p per annum for unlimited streaming music cannot look like a good business proposition to the music industry, and it's hard to say they're being unreasonably greedy by refusing to drop their royalty demands down to that level.

Day at sea
After visiting the island of s:t Thomas the ship set sail for Barbados, quite a distance so we were looking forward to a whole day at sea.
It was a nice day, beautiful weather and calm winds.
Pool area was not too crowded and the DJ played nice music all day.
Not so much to but relax and enjoy the climate and nice drinks :-)
Though, our two teenagers (boys,16 and 18) got a bit restless though and escaped to the arcade hall and mini golf at upper deck.

If they prove either unsuitable or decide not to join me on the next stage it will leave me very short of time to find another crew and take me dangerously close to the Caribbean hurricane season.

We wandered around the gardens, full of loads of beautiful palm and tropical trees with a good fruit tree ...
Guadeloupe - snorkelling in the Caribe
... On the 15 minute transfer a monster rain shower. On the small Island the crew light up the charcoal BBQ and we get our snorkelling gear out. Shailja decides against it today and S and I set off towards the reef. Ok snorkelling, some colourful tropical fish. Unfortunately if you have snorkelled in the Maldives this is not as good. A great lunch on the Island. Pork and French Bread and then BBQ chicken, fish and pork all served with copious amounts of rum punch and ...
